The temporary field hospital at the DCU Center in Worcester has seen more patients in 35 days than it did during the six weeks it was open when cases surged in Massachusetts in the spring.
The field hospital, which reopened early last month, has taken care of more than 300 patients in 35 days. Nearly 70 patients were being treated there on Friday, Peter Lancette, director of the field hospital’s operations told The Telegram & Gazette.
“We’re definitely seeing an increase in our admissions over the last couple of days,” Lancette told the newspaper.
The facility treated 162 patients when it was open between April 9 and late May, Lancette said.
